Supreme Court Rules Judgment Is Final Only After Signing, Not Oral Pronouncement
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, clarified that an oral pronouncement of a judgment in open court is not final until the judgment is signed by the concerned judge(s). This was stated during a hearing of a plea by Vidyadas Babaji, who sought the Karnataka High Court to upload a judgment pronounced in court but not yet signed. The Court noted that judges can revise judgments and re-list matters until signing, rejecting the argument that the court becomes functus officio upon oral pronouncement.
